We both liked our first slice a lot (lasagna and pepperoni/sausage) but didn't care quite as much for our chicken slices, the buffalo chicken looked divine and we would both get that one instead next time! The slices came out hot, had a great crust and were super flavorful, we loved the addition of Parmesan and crushed peppers at each table and while we didn't order any the buffalo wings smelled sooo good!

No drink refills, and we had to flag someone down just to get our check and to-go boxes. We started with a Caesar salad after finding out the octopus carpaccio (which we were excited to try) had run out -- the salad was fine but pretty unremarkable. We also ordered the Montecristo pizza with burrata, which looked great in theory, but the burrata was not evenly distributed -- piled onto one side, leaving the rest of the pizza bare. The crust itself was floppy with no real flavor -- no standout sauce or seasoning. Honestly, I think I could make a better pie at home on my Gozney. Our friends weren't impressed either -- the lasagna was underwhelming, and the cheese pizza they ordered (with a request for extra cheese) came out with no extra cheese at all. Disappointing overall, especially given the price point and the reviews. Might try again someday to see if it was an off night, but not in a rush to go back.

We easily will split an entree next time. The tagliatelle al limone was delicious - very light, the flavor was good and I was also a big fan of the broccolini. My boyfriend got the Penne Alla Vodka and added a chicken cutlet (which $15 to add a chicken cutlet is actually insane). The pasta could've used more sauce in both of our opinions. The service was a little on the slower side, which we wouldn't mind as much if the gnats outside weren't eating us alive. They have fans, but the one table we sat at was where the fan didn't reach. So this is definitely a reservation-indoor seating spot for us next time unless they add another outdoor fan. This dampened our experience a bit, especially because we were excited about the outdoor seating.

I'm glad that more people showed up, because this is a great spot. Service was really attentive and she checked in on us a good amount of time. Future Christina, your older son will eat the garlic knots, which were actually delicious. It says they are homemade and I also could not stop eating one, and I generally avoid carbs. He did not eat a lot of of the pepperoni pizza he wanted, they do not have a kids menu, but if you ask, there are things they can make kid sizes like the pasta. The personal pizza is the smallest they go. I got eight wings with a side of fries, because my son also wanted fries. He did eat a good amount of the fries, so next time I think I would just get him garlic knots and fries. I'm on a high protein diet, so the wings were great. I got the garlic Parmesan sauce on the side and a side of blue cheese. The garlic Parmesan was OK, but the blue cheese was delicious, I would definitely get it again. My dad got a pepperoni pizza and said it was quite crispy, he liked it. Overall, I enjoyed our meal here and I would definitely come back.

The people (owners?) are super nice and we were excited to try their pizza. My husband got pepperoni and I got hawaiian. I also ordered a blackberry juice with milk (leche). The drink was delicious! I would order that again and again despite it probably being high in sugar. It was simple, delicious, and refreshing. I would definitely go back just for the drink! Sadly, the pizzas were a letdown, but I think they have potential. The issue is that both pizzas somehow seemed to lack flavor. They were a bit bland. The crust is a nice consistency: thin, light, not overly crispy. But it tastes like paper. All they may need to do is add some salt and perhaps spices like garlic, red chili flakes, etc to really improve the crust and pizza overall. I would like to see pizza dipping sauces too. I always love a good pizza dipping sauce such as garlic, cheese, etc.

Like I've said before, pizza places make THE BEST sandwiches, and it's all down to the bread, the FOUNDATION to any good sandwich. One of my faves is their steak sandwich, tender cuts of meat, grilled onions, and cheese all snug between two pieces of homemade, delectable bread that basically tastes like pizza crust (because it's the same dough, I believe).

There's also outdoor seating that looks inviting, especially if the weather is nice. Service is friendly and courteous.
